Well,,, it's a little odd that there would be all the "hype" - see the
announcement on QRP-L before the Sunday NorCal meeting. Then came the
added "hype" that this transceiver is the best thing since sliced
bread. See the subsequent posts on QRP-L.
Then came the announcement that only 200 would be made available -
ever. At least from NorCal.
Why all the hype for a 200 kit run? If there's no interest in making
very many, and no profit motive, why not just offer it quietly to 20-30
local members of NorCal and be done with it?
I'll agree it wasn't immoral, illegal, or fattening--but there are over
2000 members of QRP-L and a similar number on GQRP. Why chum the water
into a frenzy then pull the plug?
Well, as I said to another list member, I am sure "Hendrick's QRP Kits"
will be coming out with it in a year or so, for around $200.00, after
enough folks are whipped into a frenzy as you say. And yes, I think that
is rather a low ball, BUT, I don't think the President of QRP-ARCI
should be mucking about in the affairs of another club, or even another
company. Leave it to the trouble-makers and curmudgeons...like me.
